The Real Reason I quit Corporate and started Guitar Youtube

The Minister has spoken. We needed a channel like this.

When I worked in Big Pharma, I had a lot of discretionary income available to buy guitars with, but never enough time to play them as much as I wanted to, of course. As soon as you mentioned the guitar street in Tokyo near where you worked half of each month, I knew you were going to end up, like me, with at least 50 guitars. I was stuck in an office in Wilmington, Delaware, though, so my guitars were mostly purchased from Ebay. The corporate world is mercenary and merciless, glad you found a path to greater happiness and freedom, Utkarsh. I appreciate the insight and hard-won wisdom that you kindly share on this platform.

Thank you for creating this channel; I learned much from you about corporate life and guitar. I couldn't agree more on the lesson you shared.

Very mature and down to earth. I wish you all the best with the future plans.

As an Indian guitar player myself, it's so great to see someone belonging from my country start a channel like this. Your thoughts are always very insightful to listen to. I'm glad you moved away from that life towards doing something that actually makes you happy. Onwards and upwards

The life coach I need. Conquers the corporate machine and unapologetically uses all the financial gains to buy guitars. This is a man that aligns with my values haha. And. . .He’s so successful at whatever he does that he turned buying guitars into an avenue to drop the dependency on a corporate job, and is growing every day on YouTube. Hats off to MinistryOfGuitar. A true boss of life 💪💪💪💪

The moment you said you’ll be assigned to Tokyo …… guitar street came to my head and the rest is history.

Continue to love what you’re doing on your channel. Keep it up my friend 👍

It's like johan cruijff ( famous dutch soccer player ) once said : all negatives also have a positive side . And from what i myself have learned in live it can also be vice versa , so there you go , live in a nutshell : )

Thanks for putting this out. Really appreciate the honesty and transparency here. Gives me lots of hope atleast for maybe trying to do something in music during this life time

Best vibes bro,, thank you...

I really love this blend between your background in business and guitar and how they tie together...I also agree, the company you work for is always looking out for itself first and foremost, not you; regardless of what they say. Always remember to take care of yourself first!

Wish you much success and think you are putting out good content ✌🏽👍🏽

Interesting your way of looking at things 👍🤓.

Great vid. Excellently put.

I've really enjoyed watching your channel over the last few months. I was doing some thinking, and I realized it's because you were successful before Youtube, and not because of Youtube. Unfortunately the "big guys" in guitar Youtube pretty much end up being ad space for companies. Maybe that will be you someday, especially if you want to do this at the highest level possible, but I'm really enjoying your narrative driven videos.

Interesting share. Lots to reflect and curious where this is going.

Just a small note for a specific comment, I have really enjoyed the parts of Indian popular culture I've seen, I think you're right that most of other countries pop culture gets overlooked because of Japan being the one most people know of. I would love if you could at some point do a video of music artists in India and Singapore, obviously guitar based and heavier music would be the most interesting for the guitar audience, but any music artists in any genre you enjoy from your part of the planet would be amazing to listen to. As a teenager I really dived in deep with Indian classical music with sitars sarod as well world music like Turkish oud and saz music but then I discovered African pop music, I love the aspects of more exotic pop culture incorporating aspects of traditional art and music. So please introduce us to famous and important musicians from India and Singapore?!

SUBSCRIBED: Your videos feed my mind and that feeds my soul. Thank you!

The number of guitars you need is always x+1, while x is the number of guitars you already have 😎. Great story, great channel, thank you for all your work!!
